Buena Suerte

The song 'Buena Suerte' by Buitres delves into the unpredictable and often challenging journey of life. The opening lines, 'Aquí me ves, la moneda de tres,' set the tone for a narrative filled with metaphors and vivid imagery. The 'moneda de tres' (three-sided coin) symbolizes the impossibility and unpredictability of certain situations. The protagonist finds themselves 'pateando el cielo que cayó en el callejón,' which translates to 'kicking the sky that fell in the alley,' suggesting a struggle against overwhelming odds or circumstances that have gone awry.

The lyrics continue to paint a picture of resilience in the face of adversity. 'La situación de cara al temporal' (facing the storm) and 'bancar el gesto rancio de curda, nomás' (enduring the stale gesture of drunkenness) highlight the need to withstand life's storms and the weariness that comes with it. The mention of '10.000 piedras de sudor' (10,000 stones of sweat) and 'no escraché los huesos en el paredón' (didn't scratch the bones on the wall) further emphasizes the physical and emotional toll of these struggles. Despite these hardships, the refrain 'Buena suerte para vos y hasta siempre!' (Good luck to you and goodbye forever!) offers a bittersweet farewell, wishing well to those who move on.

The song also touches on the theme of personal hells and the randomness of fate. 'Y no está mal su infierno cada cual' (and it's not bad, each one's hell) acknowledges that everyone has their own battles. The 'bolilla loca que no para de saltar' (crazy ball that doesn't stop bouncing) represents the constant unpredictability of life. The imagery of 'oros, bastos, copas, sueños en orsay' (gold, clubs, cups, dreams offside) evokes a sense of gambling with one's fate, where dreams can often be out of reach. The closing lines, 'El verano terminó, es mentira que te mata un resbalón' (summer is over, it's a lie that a slip will kill you), remind us that setbacks are not the end, and one must continue to play the game of life carefully.

'Buena Suerte' is a poignant reflection on the resilience required to navigate life's unpredictable journey, the personal battles we all face, and the importance of perseverance and well-wishing as we move forward.
